There is a good chance City will be second by the time their match with Chelsea starts on Saturday evening. City are unbeaten in the Premier League this season and have only dropped points on two occasions.

The likes of David Luiz, Jorginho, Olivier Giroud and Pedro will almost certainly return to the starting XI when Chelsea host Manchester City on Saturday.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek took his opportunity against Wolves with an impressive individual display but it would be a huge show of faith from Sarri if he started here. Ross Barkley or Mateo Kovacic are more likely to complete Chelsea’s midfield three.
